Kids In Cuffs

Today in Lee County, Florida, a plot was uncovered. Two teens had planned a Columbine style attack on their school. A sad world.

Kids in Cuffs

horror of horrors
horrific to chain kids in cuffs
masked, not from their crime
pandemic primed

studied up
nosedived into the books
of Columbine

horror of horrors
twisted kids
their youthfulness
should be educated
for a favored future

but instead
wanted to escort their classmates
into the hereafter 
horror of horrors
kids in cuffs

this world has become so dangerous for kids. It's a crying shame too. Back in my day we had our share of fights in school but never anything like whats happening today

desperation cast its pall, lending to such flawed solution. Kim I pray somehow the depth of our children will be directed to resist these atrocities. you highlight both side.
